I finally finished my first pair of socks! Just in time for Thanksgiving; it also just so happens that they are the exact color of Thanksgiving. I named them my Thanksgiving AKA Turkey Day Socks!

I have taken a few days off from work. I feel almost feel like I'm ready to go back, however I wish someone would just pay me to knit all day long. Yesterday was wonderful, good food, great family, and a lot of down time. We went for a wonderful walk, a little over 4 miles, then ate way too much. I have traveled to Maine to spend time with my husband's famiy. We love it here and don't want to leave. Sadly we must head home tomorrow. At least I have time to start another pair of socks for the 8 hour car ride home. It helps to think positive.

Here is another set of Baby Gifts! One of my dearest friends is expecting her first, a little girl they are going to name Sophia Sara Benetello. She is exected to arrive in February. They will be having a baby shower in December and yesterday I made a hat, booties, and mittens for her. I have a few more projects to finish for her. Only one more baby left... my little brothers. We are supposed to find out what the sex is the beginning of December, so I haven't picked yarn yet. More pictures to follow.

I have finished my first ever Knit Baby Gifts! I finished last week, but I have been so busy that it has taken me a few days to get them online. I have even wrapped them up with all of little Lila's other presents and dropped them off at the Daileys. I must say I am proud of myself... now on to Little Sophia Benetello...

I am at work today, like most Tuesdays. This afternoon has been busy but it has finally started to slow down. So I brought out my knitting; my handy dandy bag of tricks. I am working on a pair of booties to match that little white and pink hat for my niece Lila. Projects seem to go faster these days and I am finding I can change the pattern in the book to match what I want the end product to look like. I must say I'm very happy with my current project activity. I wish I could quit working and really start focusing on making cute little things for little ones, or big ones with a little more practice. A few days ago my husband said he was excited to get a homemade sweater, He's got a few more years till he gets one of those. I have made the trips to one of my favorite yarn stores on the planet, Knitting Central in Westport. They have great colors and everything you could need. I would like to find a little store of my own. Oh the time I would waste there.

The idea of doing what one wants to do is so fulfilling. The realization that I need to do what I can is the downer. Instead of going home to sit with my husband, eat dinner, and knit another baby booty I will be going to my second job tonight. I like both of my jobs, and wouldn't it be great if I only had to work one of them... But wouldn't it be better to get paid to do what I want? I real job to strive for?

This is a little hat I made for my niece Lila Dailey for Christmas. It is my first Pom-Pom as well. I'm really excited about Christmas this year, there are lots of little ones just born or about to be born and I am making all their gifts. I am proud of my self!

I have just discovered that I TRULY LOVE to make things. I have always known that I liked to make things, I just never seemed to have the time. Over the past few years my life has changed and I have started to prioritize. My goal is to start doing things that make me happy first. Right know that is knitting and making cute gifts, and spending time with my husband. Then I design for a high school, but for now this is about what I like!

I hope someone someday follows me into this world, but for myself this is now the forum for me to share my projects with the world. I would love to hear any suggestions and criticisms, as long as they are constructive!

It's Me!

So, this website/blog is where I share my world, where I try to make dreams into reality. We live in a bright world and it's my job to share it! All dreams are important, working hard does pay off, and I want to share all of my hard work with you!
